Press Release: After suffering a detached retina in his title-losing fight against Sergei Liakhovich, former WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster has been given a clean bill of health. Brewster, whose recent fights have been under Don King's promotional banner, says, "Contractually I am a free-agent and I am ready to move on and go after what the public demands, and that’s an exciting aggressive American heavyweight who will unify the belts.” Brewster adds, “the eye injury was an unfortunate injury, and it cost me the title, but I learn from every fight, and I intend to be very aggressive in all my future bouts. My strength is my power and I intend to KO all opponents from now on. I’m making a vow to the American people, I will be in the best shape of my career, even before I begin my next training camp, and I’ll be in the best possible condition for every fight. I put all my heart into every fight and I’m the only heavyweight out there providing exciting fights to the boxing public. I’m going into the ring to take out all opponents quickly. Once I get a title back, I promise to only go after the other champions and to unify all the belts. Maskaev, Briggs, Valuev and Klitschko…if you have the heart, and you’re not scared let’s do it, let’s give the people what they want, and let’s return the heavyweight division back to the glory days with one unified champion.” Of course, sanctioning body rules, not boxers being scared, often prevent title unification.
